I've got (more than) a couple DIY things I've done that I'll post later, but on the note of dyeing things, do you guys think it would be possible to do an overdye on a pair of khakis to take them from that sort of bland, standard khaki color to the nice yellow-gold color that some have? Or would that darken them up too much?

I actually like the cleaner white jeans on jackm's fit. Does need the proper roll on the pants like in the lookbook, but definitely lose the black shoes/bag. Tan bucks with a really good brick sole would've been better than the desert boots.

Most chick's jeans are low rise, yeah, but it's also way easier to find a higher rise in girl's jeans than guys.
And yeah, I guess mid is more accurate to what I was thinking. Something like the Imperial Shearers would be too extreme (although they're still awesome jeans).

Yes? What did I say that implied otherwise?
An 10.5-11 inch rise comes to a bit below my navel, which is where i'd ideally like the waist on my jeans to sit.

Uh, jeans with a higher rise? Seems pretty self-explanatory. Nudie High Kais, Imperial Shearers.
I'm thinking specifically of about a 501 rise, so maybe that's more like mid-rise. Still, hard to find even that in a skinny jean.

Waistcoat with t-shirt is even worse though. At least with this you might not notice it at first glance, but with a t-shirt it's just so glaring.

I was trying to go for a boxy type/skinny jeans silhouette, which is a look that I totally love right now. Only problem is that you need high rise jeans to do it, and finding a decent pair of those is just impossible right now. Well, not impossible, but I am too proud to buy GIRL JEANZ.
And anyways I'm trying to wait on getting a newer pair of jeans until I lose the weight I put on during winter. I was in the hospital for a few weeks near the end of fall and there is no...
